Abstract(in English) In this paper, we developed the RF MEMS switch using the pull-up structure for high long-term reliability and low actuation voltage. To achieve the high long-term reliability and low actuation voltage, the RF MEMS switch adopted the pull-up structure using the movable contact pad, instead of cantilevers or fixed-fixed beams, because the movable contact pad was not deformed by electrostatic force. Reliable operations were demonstrated at a very low actuation voltage of 4.5V. After 23 billion cyclic actuations, the reliable actuation voltages smaller than 5V are obtained, while insertion loss and isolation are maintained below 0.51 and 55.0dB, respectively, at 50 GHz.
